As city flyer states BA is currently 'overborne' with pilots.

IAG never wanted BMI regional or Baby. Thus they came as a cost reduction to cover the cost of redundancies. What mitigation should they apply to a business they never wanted and came as an administrative headache?

If you buy a repossesion house from the bank do you have to give accomodation to the previous owners???

Companies ave been wound up all over the country throughout this recession why should the airline industry be any different? Or perhaps BA should have integrated all on a zippered seniority and then applied last in first out on the MSL? Would that calm your sense of outrage?

All BMI companies had 6-8 weeks of trading left at the time of takeover. For Baby the resulting redundancies were, sadly, inevitable.
